The taxpayer-funded deal was also labeled as ‘confidential.’
Chicago, Baltimore, sure they’re bad, but I don’t think any part of the country has a political class as completely insane, corrupt and entitled as California does. Unlike some of the blighted urban areas, SoCal isn’t naturally that dysfunctional, much of this is a choice, a choice to run a state and key cities like they were a UCLA campus takeover but with lots more money at stake. This is the work of a political class that has become self-electing and self-selecting to the point that being forced to run for office…
… leads to a $2 million emotional distress settlement.
L.A. County’s secretive $2 million payout to its CEO two months ago — first revealed by LAist this week — was to settle her claims that she was harmed by a ballot measure that will change her job to an elected position and by the county’s messaging.
CEO Fesia Davenport had requested the settlement for what she claimed was “reputational harm, embarrassment and physical, emotional and mental distress caused by the Measure G.”
Measure G will transform the CEO job from an appointed position into an elected one starting in 2028.

Measure G “ends my career as CEO at least two years earlier than I intend,” Davenport wrote.
How much was Fesia earning? $810,319.00 with pay and benefits.
Dang! I was expecting The Bee.
Fesia is 56 years old. She’s being paid an extra $2 million so she can better prep for her “retirement”.
I’m not saying that everyone involved in this should be in prison. At this point, I’m saying everyone involved in governance in LA belongs in prison on general principles.
Yet another DEI joke out of the government of LA. Why even have a mayor? (There's a mind boggling video of her inauguration speech, posted by DG. Worth it as an ipecac.)

Looks like a bit of minority class warfare clouded by dem corruption and masking what could otherwise be labeled 'reparations'...
“Pic is worth a thousand words.....”
I think I see the problem here....their sacred ghettopotumai MUST be well-fed, well-dressed, well-taken care of and well-preserved....ALL at taxpayer expense.
Raparations came early for this one. Spit.
Fecia gets her $2M to help her groove.
Reparations on full display.
Blame the Los Angles DEI crony government that approved this thievery.
Californication
You’ve got to wonder why Democrats in deep blue states like Californistan even worry about elections, given the way they have things rigged and locked down. I guess some Politburo members are just more equal than others.
As the article says with precision, "This is the work of a political class that has become self-electing and self-selecting...."
We've been watching this in our United States, as across the world. Thievery is a fine description of governments, municipal as well as in the corrupt United Nations. And in between.... The thieves are raging against President Trump for that simple reason. It's becoming harder to steal and hide the thefts.
Well im emo5ionally distressed that noone asked me to run.
I have read that the looting of the public treasury here is similar to the theft of state enterprises by KGB and oligarchs in Russia’s 1990s chaos years.
Just about all done by Dems and DEI thieves - looting of our public treasuries
A short look to the public records for the State of California shows how egregious this is and has been for some time now:
All pensions 21,535,311 records found – Page 1 of 430,707Amplify that look into "public servants" across the nation, and especially in the Democrat-controlled inner cities, and "looting" becomes the obvious theme, ignored by the media -- because many of them have been in on it.

However, many lifeguards supplement base pay with significant overtime and benefits. According to watchdog reports, in 2024 over 134 lifeguards earned at least $200,000 annually in total compensation, including overtime and benefits, with 34 earning $300,000 or more.
The highest-paid lifeguard, Fernando Boiteux, earned over $500,000 in 2024, including base pay, overtime, benefits, and other pay.
Overtime is a major factor, with some lifeguards earning upwards of $170,000 in overtime alone, significantly inflating total compensation beyond base wages.
Lifeguards also receive notable pension and retirement benefits, enabling early retirements with high income replacement rates.

Guess they aren’t serious about the “No Kings” thing.
Los Angeles is going broke paying off these idiotic settlements, many of them for huge amounts.
Got two separate notices yesterday that ballots are being sent out to “all eligible voters” - one for me and one for my husband who has been dead for five years.
I have a feeling he’s been voting democrat from his grave.
